Adam Vinatieri told USA Today that the move doesn't make sense because it could lead to more injuries. The NFL is trying to lessen injuries, not create more contact, Vinatieri astutely pointed out.

"I don't understand the logic. Will it make the game safer for people by moving the extra point back to a 43-yarder? If anything, players are going to rush harder because they're thinking, 'That far of a field goal-type try, we have to go after blocking it more,'" Vinatieri said this week. "If you want to talk about potential risk, more guys get injured on a field goal than extra point.

"A change would create more strategy because you'd have to decide if you'd want to kick it or go for two points because about 80 percent was average for 43-yard field goals last season," Feely said. "You're going to still trust your kicker to go out there and make 43-yard extra points."

"If somebody wants to be honest and say they're trying to phase kickers out of the game, I'd appreciate that," Tucker said. "I'd start working out and I'd try to get a little faster and I'd work on my hands and become a slot receiver. I want to play the game."
